Stars and Lighthouse Beam by jgpittenger

Stars and Lighthouse Beam

Thanks so much for your amazing support for me and my gallery and for taking the Milky Way at Bob's Creek wayside shot to the PP. I couldn't do it without you!
This was a fun shot to try to get. We were quite a ways from the lighthouse on an overlook. I used a shutter speed of 15 sec and covered the lens when the beam of the lighthouse was directly towards the camera so it wouldn't blow out the exposure. I think it turned out pretty nicely. The light on the surf is from a light on the road.
I'm off to man ( or woman in this case) the gallery. I have to say I'd rather be out shooting. The weather is lovely.
Another fantastic shot - just love the reflections and that midnight blue colour

I only see skies like this when I visit NZ Jane...too much light pollution even in our country area where you can still see the town lights in the distance. Lovely blue image with a perfect clear light beam.

Just stunning!

Surreal. It blows my mind that the beam seems to rise, and I guess that must be an illusion caused by the light coming toward you. Impeccable technique. Fav again.
